Default Compression test: B16A + CTR pistons + Spoon headgasket

what would a B16A with CTR pistons and a Spoon headgasket yield roughly across all 4 cylinders?

alot of variables can affect the compression #'s so dont be concerned with how high or low they are, be concerned that all cylinders are within 10% of each other across the board

What he said. I wouldn't be surprised if you see 200 PSI+, though.

well the reason I'd like to know is, if there is a more or less sure fire way to tell if a motor is equipped with CTR pistons as opposed to stock SiR pistons when the motor is fully assembled. That's all

but thanks for the answers

Honda recommends 25%.

14% actually. Straight from the factory trained friend's mouth.
